Handle access violation exception in C++ Builder?

I'm trying to do: try{ int * i = NULL; *i = 3; }catch(Exception &Err){ ShowMessage(Err.Message); } I though that this should catch access violation exception and handle it by displaying an error message.

Access violation after catching dll exception

I have to load modules as dlls dynamically at runtime as they are not known ahead of time, just that they conform to a class interface. What I noticed is that after I catch an exception thrown by the dll (in the main program in the main thread), the right destructors are called and the modules destroyed and dll's unloaded, but then as t...

Embedded firefox/xulrunner causing AccessViolationException

Hello, I have for the most part successfully embedded firefox/xulrunner into our c# application, but it is not without troubles. Once in a great while a AccessViolationException will be thrown which I believe is caused by the GC moving a managed object in memory and the unmanaged xpcom attempts to use it after it has been moved. For exam...

Determine reason of System.AccessViolationException

We are having nondeterministic System.AccessViolationException thrown from native code. It's hard to reproduce it, but sometimes it happens. I'm not sure if I can "just debug it" since the time needed for access violation is about 2 hours and there is no guarantees that access violation will happen. The native library is used by managed...

AccessViolation when using C++ DLL from Delphi

I have a weird problem trying to use a DLL written in C++ from a Delphi (Turbo Delphi 2006) program. When I run the Delphi program (see below) from the command line, everything works fine.

I've been trying to figure out for nearly a week now how to call StgCreateStorageEx in C#, and all I've got to show for it is an AccessViolationException and a headache.

AccessViolationException while executing Threading.Thread.Sleep

We have developed an application that has intensive thread use (+-50 threads) in Vb.Net. From time to time we get an AccessViolationException at a random thread while it is doing a Thread.Sleep().

VS2008 MySQL Connector/NET AccessViolationException

I've been struggling for weeks with relentless errors thrown either by VS2008 or MySQL Connector/NET. These errors appear sort of randomly while messing with Visual Studio's Dataset Designer and, as soon as it starts, it won't stop; It even prevents from saving the XSD file. A pop-up shows: Attempted to read or write protected memor...
